October 19, 2009 - Rock Band refuses to rest. This year, Electronic Arts is expanding the music juggernaut with three new editions: the recently released Beatles Rock Band, the upcoming LEGO Rock Band, and now a new iPhone edition of the original game. Despite many console games getting the short stick when coming to iPhone, EA has been quite diligent about maintaining the fidelity of its big franchises, such as Madden. This drive extends to Rock Band. This is a real Rock Band experience. It has licensed songs and a download store for additional tracks. The display looks very close to the console Rock Band. You can play as all four instruments. It even has multiplayer for up to four band mates.

October 19, 2009 - Electronic Arts' Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch debuted on the App Store in the wee hours this morning. Based on the blockbuster series of music games for consoles, Rock Band on the iPhone allows up to four players to jam along with real songs over Bluetooth. Each player chooses an instrument -- guitar, bass, drums, mic -- and then tap along with the track. Rock Band also includes a single player career mode, although it is not nearly as deep as the tours in the console editions of the game.

October 8, 2009 - After letting Tapulous run the table with their series of Tap Tap Revenge games, Electronic Arts is finally lowering the boom with one of the two biggest names in music games: Rock Band. Coming this month to the App Store for both the iPhone and iPod Touch, Rock Band is a full-featured, four-player edition of the franchise that not only borrows the console game's slick production values, but also a healthy number of its licensed tracks. Songs from bands including the Foo Fighters, Blondie, and the Pixies are unlocked as you play your way through career mode, working your way up from lowly clubs to major arenas.

October 7, 2009 - Rock Band is coming to the iPhone. Not much more can be said about the game until tomorrow morning when Electronic Arts makes a formal announcement, but be sure to come back here to find out exactly how it plays and see a gallery of screens from the game.
